Be wary of the night
And its enticing call
Not all who venture there, my Love
Have lived to see the morn
I know too well
The danger after dark
Luring in his victims
Under moon and stars
King Midnight stalks the streets
Swallows his prey whole
Sweeps the young right off their feet
As if they’d never known
Well it’s late in the evening
Crescent moon reached its peak
A shadow moves in dead pitch black
And preys upon the weak
Those left behind forgotten
Those who remain are next
For all who venture forth are damned
This night is ever hexed
King Midnight rules the moonlight
And sits upon his throne of stars
There is no escaping his cold touch
About him is dark
